UNITED STATES DE KELLER STAMEY, OF YONKERS, NEW YORK.

KETTLE SGRAPER.

Application filed April 26, 1924. Serial No. 709,204.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, -DE KELLER STAMEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Yonkers, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in, Kettle Scrapers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain improvements in kettle scrapers and it is an object of the invention to provide a novel and improved device of this general character adapted to be engaged on the digit or digits of a hand and provided therewith with an outstanding blade adapted to provide a scrapin element.

The lnvention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved kettle scraper whereby certain important advantages are attained and the device rendered slmpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient and advantageous for use, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth. I

The novel features of my invention will hereinafter be definitely claimed.

In order that my invention may be the better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a view 1n perspective illustrating a kettle scraper constructed in ac cordance with an embodiment of my invention- Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view taken through the device as illustrated in Fi re 1;

igure 3 is a view in side elevation of the device as illustrated in Figure 1;

Figure 4 is a view in plan of from which the device is formed;

Figure 5 is a transverse sectional view illustrating a scraper constructed in accordance with a further embodiment of my invention;

Figure 6 is a view in-plan of the blank from which is formed the device as illus- 9 trated in Figure 5.

As disclosed i Figures 1 to 4.- inclusive,

my improved device comprises an elongated shank 1 of'metal returned upon itself to rovide a sleeve 01'' thimble as illustrated in the blank igure 1 and struck out from an end portion of the blank 1 is ascraping blade 2, the edge a constituting the working edge, the outer end of which at 12 being sharp while the opposite end portion as at c is rounded.

As herein disclosed this particular embodiment of-my invention is adapted to receive two digits or fingers of a hand althou h it is to be understood that the same can be constructed in a manner to be engaged with only a single digit or finger.

portion of the wall of the sleeve or thimble immediately adjacent to the connected end of the blade 2 is flattened, as at 3, to closely overlie the nail of the digit to which the device is applied, said flattened portion extending entirely along the sleeve or thimble as is particularly illustrated in Fi re 1.

he embodiment of my invention as illustrated in Figures 5 and 6 is disclosed for use with onlya single finger or digit and is substantially the same as the first form of the device except the end portion of the blank 1 remote from the blade 2* is provided with the flap or extensiond adapted to be inserted through the resultant 0 ening 5 provided by the outstanding bla e 2 and turned to underlie the inner surface of the opposite end portion of the sleeve or thimble forwardly of said opening 5, whereby the adjacent ends of the sleeve or thimble are connected, as is particularly illustrated in Figure 5. d 1

From the foregoing description it is thought to be obvious that a kettle scraper constructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adapted for use b reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembled and operated,

' and it will also be obvious that my inven:

tion is susceptible of some change and modification without departing from the principles and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the precise arrangement and for mation ofjthe several parts herein shown in carryin out my invention in practice except as ereinafter claimed.

I claim:

1. A scraper of the class described comprising a thimble and an outstanding blade struck therefrom, a portion of the thimble immediately adjacent to the blade being flattened.

' 2. A scraper of the class described comstruck therefrom, a portion of the thimble prising a thlmble and an outstanding blade immediately adjacent to the blade being struck therefrom, a portion of the thimble flattened, said flattened portion of the 10 immediately adjacent to the connected end thimble extending entirely therealong. 5 of the blade being flattened. In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my 3. A scraper of the class described comsignatiire. prising a thimble and an outstanding blade DE KELLER STAMEY.
